Natural shades are becoming increasingly popular in the nail industry, because thanks to their participation in the design of nails, you can create stunning feminine manicure ideas using a minimum of additional products. The turquoise palette, which looks very beautiful on nails of any length and shape, this season, according to designers, deservedly takes its place on the list of leaders. Marigolds with a turquoise finish can fit into any look and combine beautifully with decor and many techniques. That is why, today, we decided to dedicate our material to the original duet - French manicure, made in turquoise color, and below we are ready to tell everything about this stylish design option.
Features of manicure
The turquoise color gets its name from the mineral of the same name and is a unique combination of blue and green colors. Its delicate shades are associated with sea water and spring greenery, which, according to psychologists, relieves irritability, anxiety and has a calming effect on the subconscious level. A variety of shades allows you to create both bright and pale, calm designs on your nails that will definitely attract attention to your person.
Fashion trends
This season's fashionable French manicure, designed in turquoise tones, offers young ladies several types of French manicure, which differ in the location of the smile line on the nail plate and the method of applying it. The trend is the classic French technique, manicure with an inverted smile and under-French. If we have encountered the first two positions many times before, the latest novelty is characterized by a smile line that is not drawn to the end or has the appearance of thin double oblique stripes. Also, a turquoise jacket will pleasantly surprise fashionistas with its floral splendor, imitation of natural mineral, brilliant tints of rub, stylish combinations with other colors and many other ideas, which are discussed in more detail below.
Refined and filigree turquoise nail design
Modern manicure trends in turquoise color welcome not only the newfangled techniques “broken glass”, “negative space”, “cat’s eye”, “marble”, “eye see you”, holographics, “wet”, but also sophisticated and understandable solutions that we know and love.
Among the innovations there are many original examples that are masterpieces in their execution and style.

Plain turquoise jacket
Coating the nail with a single-color varnish is the simplest design option, which looks very laconic and can be additionally decorated with decor. A turquoise jacket can be made according to the classic example, when only the free edge of the nail plate is covered with colored varnish, or it can be applied to the nail instead of a transparent base. In this case, the smile line remains snow-white and can be highlighted with shiny strokes or several pebbles. A similar idea with an accent in the form of drawings and decor on the ring finger and an unusual shape of a smile, for example, a triangular one, looks beautiful and gentle.
Geometry in turquoise
Broken, straight, diagonal, oblique, vertical and other lines form a stylish geometry on your nails. The print itself is made on a turquoise coating with the addition of pink, powdery, mint, light green, white, and black.
Reverse French
This design differs from the previous version in the location of the smile line on the nail. In an inverted or reverse French, the strip is applied not to the tip of the nail, but at its base. For drawing, use classic white or any other varnish that is used in the design. This version of a smile stands out very beautifully with shiny varnishes or glitter. A reverse French manicure is often combined with a classic French manicure, which looks fresh and original on the nails.

There are two main ways to create a gradient on your nails:
- The first is using a special sponge. This is a piece of foam rubber with very small cavities. Strips of varnish are applied to it, which will be used to create a gradient. Using a sponge, the varnish is applied in several layers. The result is a soft transition of colors. The disadvantage of this method is that bubbles may form in the varnish.
- The second option is to use a rare brush. Apply 2 strips of varnish to the nail and rub the edges with a brush. This method requires some skill, but allows you to create a gradient of different blurriness

Stylish under-french
To diversify the restraint and severity of French design, salon masters suggest showing a little imagination and experimenting with the way you apply a smile. The under-French differs from previously known examples in its original appearance of a smile. The line on the free tip of the nail is not drawn to the end or consists of several oblique stripes applied to one of the side parts of the nail plate. This design looks very unusual and will be an ideal choice for bold and confident fashionistas who are not averse to informal nail design. Turquoise lines combine beautifully with white or silver varnish and can be complemented with single rhinestones or designs.

Turquoise jacket with flowers
The turquoise jacket itself looks very gentle and airy, so you should decorate your nails with appropriate designs. A variety of flowers, twigs, modest buds and thin blades of grass are more relevant in this case than ever. Complement the jacket with delicate wildflowers, noble orchids, snow-white daisies, peonies or any other flowers that look harmonious with the turquoise palette. It is better to place floristry on one or two accent nails, using darker or lighter varnishes to draw details. Floral designs combine very beautifully with glitter and rhinestones, which can also be taken into account and used in the design.
Rules for applying color
Turquoise, like other bright shades, requires proper adherence to all application rules. Only in this case will the nails look perfect, and the result will please their owner. The bright color looks especially impressive on long nails. At the same time, the working surface area allows you to complement the design of your nails with beautiful patterns or decorative details.
The advantages of turquoise color deservedly include its ability to visually lengthen nails. This feature can be used when developing a manicure design for short nails. A competent approach involves a minimum of decorative elements or patterns to stylishly complement the image.
All light colors, including turquoise, unfavorably emphasize defects in the nail plate. For this reason, before applying varnish, it is necessary to thoroughly polish the nails with a large nail file. It is recommended to apply a base underneath the varnish, which can smooth out unevenness.
Bright varnish should be applied carefully, using one or two layers, taking into account its consistency.
Rubbed design
Using one of the types of rubbing when creating a jacket in turquoise tones allows you to display the surface of the water surface on your nails, which looks incredibly elegant. Silver, golden, rainbow or holographic tints can directly complement the line of the jacket or be beautifully placed on the ring nail. You can simultaneously decorate neighboring fingers with patterns of rhinestones and beads, or experiment and combine the shimmer of powder and shiny decor on one or two nails at the same time.
Manicure in Tiffany style
Such a charming name implies the use of a fashionable duet consisting of turquoise and classic white colors when designing. A characteristic feature of a Tiffany-style manicure is the obligatory presence of a voluminous white bow, which is usually placed on the accent nail. In our example, the decoration can be replaced or supplemented with a white lunula or a stripe at the tip of the nail. The use of shiny accents in the form of rhinestones, kamifubuki, metallic stripes and glitter touches is welcome.
Drawings
The most popular floral themes in this color scheme are those that create a light spring mood. Stylized landscapes reminiscent of summer holidays in exotic countries are appropriate.
Among the execution options you can consider:
- detailed drawing of details using a thin brush;
- use of ready-made stencils;
- use of decorative stickers.
One of the trends of the season are original monograms in white or black, as well as stripes similar to the famous Tiffany-style art. Geometric painting with the inclusion of different bright colors looks no less stylish.
It’s easy to complement a summer-themed watercolor painting with a finishing gel that can create the illusion of water droplets.
Nail design using the sweet bloom technique looks stylish and individual.
You can study this and other design ideas in detail in the photo of a turquoise manicure.
Black lacquer design
Contrasting tandems always look original and a little festive, and the combination of a turquoise palette with black varnish looks bright and expressive. In order not to overload the nails, you should use black to draw individual details of the design. Thus, various geometric figures, flowers, abstract designs or insect bodies stand out very beautifully. A black smile line, which can be placed both at the tip and at the base of the nail, will decorate your nails no less chicly.

Turquoise effect
As we already mentioned above in the article, the turquoise color got its name from a semi-precious stone - turquoise, so the design, which imitates the color of a natural mineral, has become simply a masterpiece of nail design. A similar effect can be created using pieces of foil or a pattern. In the first example, crumpled pieces of foil are dipped in black varnish and then carefully applied to the turquoise tips of the nails, which allows the veins and stains characteristic of turquoise to be applied to the coating. In the second example, similar patterns are created with a thin brush.
A turquoise French jacket looks both gentle and original on nails. It will be a wonderful addition to many looks and guarantees its owner a surge of vivacity and a great mood. This is a great opportunity to look beautiful, stylish and stay on trend, because every young lady strives for this.
Variety of decor
A few years ago, the main decoration of nails was a drawing. Today there is a huge selection of all kinds of decor that are fashionable to improve your nail design. Moreover, not only small, minimalist elements are relevant, but also quite bulky and completely impractical.
Turquoise jacket can be complemented with:
- Large, small, multi-colored and different sized rhinestones. They can replace the crescent line, improve a simple classic design by gluing several rhinestones at the base of the nail, in the middle, or on the side.
- Mother-of-pearl beads and pearls add originality to the design. It goes well with evening, wedding and cocktail attire, just like the turquoise nail coating itself. Large elements are used more often in one copy, small ones, for example, bouillons, are arranged into a pattern, a certain ornament.
- The turquoise color is often used in marine nail design, since turquoise is associated with the surface of the water and the Cote d'Azur. Therefore, decor with a marine theme is common in turquoise jackets. For example, mother-of-pearl, gold and silver shells, orange and gold starfish or skates.
- A sophisticated and most harmonious decor option is silver and gold glitter. They use it to outline nails, a pattern, a French line, fill a hole with glitter, and accent several nails.
A turquoise jacket looks catchy, non-trivial, feminine and very beautiful on nails. It goes well with many shades, an excellent choice if you are in a good mood and sunny weather.
